    So I am installing the ES cab mount bushings and I need to move the cab slightly rearward on the frame to align this front bushing. I may need to do a bit more alignment later as well... I was considering ratchet straps but not sure how to connect without bending the cab. Ideas?

    I used 2x4s to finagle the body up off the frame to remove the body mounts. I have been wondering how I'm going to get this thing lined up dropping it back down. Was hoping 2x4s would do the trick again... Maybe am being optimistic... Also I have sliders welded to the frame which give me a good leverage point so, ymmv...

    All kinds 3 inch body lift/2 1/2 suspension lift. 31/11 1/2/15 tires All work done by myself for years. The only work performed by mechanic was fuel pumps. I also have a 90 Mustang 350 hp and I can never understand how come my Tacoma gets more respect Just got a 99 Jeep TJ that I rebuilt, and painted in the garage
    I laid on my back and pushed the cab up with my legs. Although I have a single cab. I used blocks and 2x4s, but used my legs for all adjustments
